Nicotine Biosynthetic Enzyme Activities in Nicotiana tabacum L. Genotypes with Different Alkaloid Levels.

abstract：:Despite the fact that fungal diseases are a growing menace for conifers in modern silviculture, only a very limited number of molecular markers for pathogen resistance have been validated in conifer species. A previous genetic study indicated that the resistance of Norway spruce (Picea abies) to Heterobasidion annosum...
